those that have been destroyed. So, what you have said does seem reasonable.
About the subject of God: There are other ways of looking at this concept besides
those offered by standard religions. To me, God is more like the Original Source of
Energy that is the cause of everything that exists. This includes you and me. And
we are all a part of that Source. I no longer have the picture of an old man up in the
clouds watching what's going on the earth below. He is up there, and we are down
here.
I feel He is everything, and we are part of it also. We are all one, like a drop of
water from the ocean is a part of the ocean, whether in the form of vapor, water
or ice. Even the Bible states that we are made in God's image and likeness. We
each have taken on a temporary physical body in order to experience whatever we
came to experience, and for whatever reason. I'll stop here. Other people have
other points of view. That's fine, too.
